Yang Hu (羊祜, 221 – 27 December 278),
courtesy name Shuzi, was a Chinese military general and politician who lived during the
Jin dynasty of China. His advocacy for plans to conquer the rival state of
Eastern Wu finally persuaded
Emperor Wu to carry them out, but he did not live to see the plans implemented. He was known for his humility and foresight.
Chen Shou, who wrote the ''
Records of the Three Kingdoms'', described him as a man of medium height with fine eyebrows and a beautiful beard. Yang Hu is depicted in the
Wu Shuang Pu (無雙譜, Table of Peerless Heroes) by Jin Guliang.
